When it comes to doing things with Erin, I like to find new places to take her. On Tuesdays we try to meet up with a group of friends we used to do Baby Yoga with and get the children together but we don’t like to do the same thing every week. A few weeks ago we went to Twinkle’s Town in Norwich.
Twinkle’s Town is not your average play center. The describe it as ‘a little world for big imaginations.’
As you head up the stairs you are met with a toddler sized town full of amazing things for them to discover. There is a construction site with diggers, a theatre complete with dress up, a shop and a hospital, just to name a few sections. I was amazed by how much thought and time had gone into the design of this place and how much there was to do.
Erin absolutely loved running off and visiting the different sections. She was especially happy eating fake cake!
Twinkle’s Town often runs giveaway on their Facebook page and there are always different themed events going on. We went to an In the Night Garden event when we visited. There was someone dressed as Igglepiggle and In the Night Garden themed toys and songs.
Something I was really impressed by was the baby changing facilities, which are downstairs and located by the entrance. The changing room was impeccably clean and really well thought out. There was two different changing mats and some nappies, wipes and bags to use just in case you needed them. These were definitely some of the nicer changing facilities I have come across.
Unfortunately, Twinkle’s Town isn’t really in a convenient location. If you drive there is barely any parking and if you don’t, it’s a good 30 minute walk from Norwich train station. With a pushchair in tow, it’s a bit of a pain to be honest. I was lucky in that a friend drove us for this visit but we had to park a few streets away and carry our toddlers. Not fun!
Our visit cost £6.50 and included a hot drink but prices vary depending on if you book in advance and what the session is. Sessions are also time limited. While Erin really enjoyed it, it’s not somewhere we’ll go too often but this is only because of the location. If it was more accessible we’d go a lot more.

It’s such an amazing place! My children would all love it. I love a place where different age groups can all have fun together.
Wow that looks like an awesome play centre and just look at that Fire Station….every toddlers dream come true!
This looks like such a fun place to visit with toddlers, though it’s a shame it’s not very convenient to get to.

We have somewhere similar near us. It’s great for kids to explore their ideas of adult roles
That’s a good price for a day out, looks like your little one enjoyed it x
That looks like an amazing place to go. I love how they have different sections like the fire station and hospital one. BattleKid would love it!
Although the parking is not inconvenient it seems that the rest of Twinkle Towns assets is more than adequate. The In The Night Garden Event sounds like it was a lot of fun x
What a shame it’s too far out of town i would love to have visitedx
This looks like an amazing place to visit, my little two would adore this. We have something similar in the north east which is out of the way a bit aswell, I wish they would have them in city centres xx
What a great and an extremly affordable soft play, that comes with a hot beverage to boot! We have something similar to this is London, but completely extoritianet, costng £20+ for children and £45 adults! I wish they could bring this to London. x
A side from the location and the parking it sounds like a great place to take children and looks a lot of fun too
That’s awonderful place for kids, it’s like the whole Universe fo them! Thank you for an adorable story and pictures!
